Alone but not forgotten

We departed from Kabil a few hours ago with another material barge bound for Australia, to be handed over to an Australian tug between Bali and Lombok. Shortly before departure these two guys, Chief Mate Jaap on the left and second mate Werner to the right, boarded our tow and connected the Husky and arranged the deployment of the emergency trailing line. They were the last men on board the barge and normally when all the work is done, the last stern tug is disconnected by them and this tug will pick them up and bring them back to the Husky. But not today, apparently the tug captain had a more important job to do because he was gone before they noticed. We had to call them in again by radio and after some waiting (and capturing for Blip), they were brought back safely to us.
